Because almost no Apple users use a mouse. How many iMacs does Apple sell relative to trackpad devices? It’d be a waste of R&D resources.

- jeffbee 2y agoAt this point the question is why the iMac still comes with the mouse. The Magic Trackpad is much better and all of Apple's software is designed for it.

- shuckles 2y agoBy default, it comes with a trackpad.
- jeffbee 2y agoFrom what I see those are still CTO. The stock item comes with Magic Mouse.
- bigyabai 2y agoThis is simply untrue, the Magic Trackpad is a paid $50 upgrade from the default Magic Mouse: https://www.apple.com/shop/buy-mac/imac https://www.apple.com/shop/buy-mac/imac By default, Apple expects you to own the Magic Mouse. Which is probably a part of their plan to upsell you to the Magic Trackpad - the rift in quality between the two accessories is so great that it's hard to imagine they're made by the same company.
- shuckles 2y agoI am wrong, but I think my point still stands. Very few people ever use the mouse. It would probably be better ROI for them to refine the design of dongles or something.
